Summary of Claims and Defenses

A. Plaintiffs Claims:
Defendant Brandon Marshall, by Intentional Torts, assaulted and
battered Plaintiff outside of Marquee nightclub in Manhattan, New York,
on March 11, 2012. Defendants actions are assault and battery under
New York State Law, which states that assault is the intent to cause
serious physical injury to another person and battery is physical contact
resulting in such injury.
Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress by defendant Brandon Marshall
arising from assault and battery by Defendants intentional actions
outside of Marquee nightclub in Manhattan, New York, on March 11,
2012. New York State Law states that under the Direct Duty Theory,
Defendants conduct was extreme and outrageous; Plaintiff suffered
extreme emotional distress.
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress by defendant Brandon
Marshall arising from assault and battery by Defendants intentional
actions outside of Marquee nightclub in Manhattan, New York, on March
11, 2012. New York State Law states that Intentional Infliction of
Emotional Distress has four elements: (1) extreme and outrageous
conduct, (2) intent to cause severe emotional distress, (3) a causal
connection between the conduct and the injury, and (4) severe emotional
distress.
B. Defendants Defenses:
Defendant did not assault or batter Plaintiff, another person did.

Defendants conduct was not extreme or outrageous under New York

State Law and Plaintiff cannot otherwise establish the elements
necessary to support a claim for Intentional Infliction of Emotional
Distress. See generally, Conboy v. AT & T Corp., 241 F.3d 242, 258 (2d
Cir. 2001) (stating the standard for stating a valid claim of [IIED] is
rigorous, and difficult to satisfy.)
Plaintiffs own actions, to wit, advancing aggressively on Defendant and
the people with him, contributed in part or in whole to any damages
suffered by Plaintiff and provoked the incident, and her failure to seek
any treatment for claimed emotional distress also contributed in whole or
in part to her damages.
Defendants actions were justified under the circumstances.
Any actions taken by Defendant were in self-defense.
V.

Jury Trial.
This is a jury trial the parties believe will take 5 days.

VI.

All parties have not consented to trial by a magistrate judge.
